With Typhoon Nesat approaching Hong Kong, Typhoon Signal 8 is raised by the Hong Kong Observatory early in the morning of September 29. Signal 8 is a warning of dangerous gale force winds, rain, and sea conditions. All non essential businesses and services in the city shut down, and people are advised to stay indoors and take precautions for the safety of themselves and their property.
While neighbors in the Harbour take the opportunity to head for shore before the Typhoon strikes, the crew of Watermark (my wife, cats, and I) decide to stay aboard her in the refuge of the Typhoon Shelter.
Another clip shows the wind and rain as a neighboring boat tries to prepare:
Not the first Typhoon to be weathered by Watermark, but definitely an adventure for her crew.
